Manchild Lyrics Translations
[Intro]
Oh boy
[Verse 1]
You said your phone was broken, just forgot to
charge it
Whole outfit you're wearing, God, I hope it's
ironic
Did you just say you're finished? Didn't know we
started
It's all just so familiar, baby, what do you call it?
[Pre-Chorus]
Stupid
Or is it slow?
Maybe it's useless?
But there's a cuter word for it, I know
FEATURED VIDEOS
[Chorus]
Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me?
Fuck my life
Won't you let an innocent woman be?
Never heard of self-care
Half your brain just ain't there
Man-child
Why you always come a-running, taking all my
loving from me?
[Verse 2]
Why so sexy if so dumb?
And how survive the Earth so long?
If I'm not there, it won't get done
I choose to blame your mom
[Chorus]
Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me?
Fuck my life
Won't you let an innocent woman be?
Never heard of self-care
Half your brain just ain't there
Man-child
Why you always come a-running, taking all my
loving from me?
[Bridge]
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get
And I like my men all incompetent
And I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing
them
Amen, hey, men
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get (Play hard
to get)
And I like my men all incompetent
(Incompetent)
And I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing
them (Not choosing them)
Amen (Amen), hey, men (Hey, men)
[Chorus]
Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me? (Always
come a-running to me)
Fuck my life
Won't you let an innocent woman be? (Amen)
[Outro]
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get (Play hard
to get)
And I like my men all incompetent
(Incompetent)
And I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing
them (Not choosing them)
Amen (Amen), hey, men (Hey, men)

"Manchild"?
Genius Answer 2 contributors
“ iwith
wrote manchild on a random tuesday
amy and jack not too long after
finishing short n’ sweet and it ended up
being the best random tuesday of my life
not only was it so fun to write, but this
song became to me something I can look
back on that will score the mental
montage to the very confusing and fun
young adult years of life.
it sounds like the song embodiment of a
loving eye roll and it feels like a never
ending road trip in the summer ! hence
why i wanted to give it to you now- so
you can stick your head out the car
window and scream it all summer long!
thank you always and forever for listening
and thank you men for testing me!!
Manchild is out now!!!
Video out tomorrow at 10am est
